Validating programming code by providing a data schema including registered data types, identifying a data object as defined according to a registered data type of the schema; and checking attempts to access the data object according to the registered data types of the data schema, at compile time.

Compile time validation of programming code

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for voice activated inventory management is provided. The present invention may include recording an audio feed of a customer product query from a customer and a staff response from a staff member. The present invention may then include identifying a product requested by the customer. The present invention may also include identifying an inventory status in the staff response. The present invention may also include determining that a negative inventory status trigger is detected in the identified inventory status associated with the identified product requested by the customer. The present invention may further include, in response to determining that the negative inventory status trigger is detected in the identified inventory status associated with the identified product requested by the customer, storing, in an inventory database, a plurality of customer query data associated with the identified product requested by the customer.

Voice activated inventory management

A first changeset that identifies a change to a first software product development file is generated. An expiry condition to assign to the first changeset is received. Responsive to determining that the expiry condition assigned to the first changeset is met, whether any subsequent changesets identify another change that depends on the change to the first software product development file identified in the first changeset is determined. Responsive to determining that no subsequent changesets identify another change that depends on the change to the first software product development file identified in the first changeset, the change identified in the first changeset, such that the first software product development file does not include the change identified in the first changeset is automatically reversed.

Work-item expiration in software configuration management environment

A method for automatically provisioning a virtual machine based on the state of a defect work-item workflow for reproducing a defect associated with testing a software product is provided. The method may include identifying a defect in the software product. The method may also include identifying steps to reproduce the defect. The method may include producing an automation script to reproduce the defect. The method may include identifying a plurality of relevant environmental details associated with a state of the defect. The method may also include requesting a virtual machine provisioning system to provision a new virtual machine comprising the plurality of relevant environmental details and the produced automation script. Also, the method may include building the new virtual machine. The method may further include informing the defect tracking system that the new virtual machine is ready and including a plurality of updated machine connection details and a defect description.

Automated virtual machine provisioning based on defect state

A method, computer program product, and system for determining a number of users corresponding to a server load including simulating one or more virtual users on a test computer system on coupled to network. One or more client requests are sent from each of the one or more virtual users to a server application executed on a server computer system coupled to the network. A metric indicative of a load on the server computer system is measured. The metric is compared to a predetermined value; and the number of the one or more virtual users is changed based on the difference between the metric and the predetermined value until the metric is within a predetermined range of the predetermined value.
